An interesting article came to my notice the other day by
David Resnick with the title What is ethics in research and why it is important? One of the things that is popping up
increasingly frequency in research applications is a section on ethics, so I
was delighted to see this article.
David is a bioethicist at the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences which is part of the US Department of Health and
Human Services. He gives a number of
interesting case studies and tackles a number of thorny issues such as who should
be included as an author on a research paper.
An entertaining and enlightening
short article. Access the article here. (Nick Gray)
